Destroy the web?

No one needs to use Google.

When Google denies the hits to the web pages, the web pages die.

Once the pages die… the. The google search dies.

A toxic host !

Your AI is defective; check your prompt. God looks like Morgan Freeman. Any computer search should show you that.

So we have a choice now... get error riddled results using search engines run by human input/output. Or get error riddled results using ai input/output.

Hmm, tough choice.

I’ve been somewhat displeased with search engines in general since they quit doing true Boolean searches.

Agree 100%. I do not know how many times the search engine wrongly assumed I meant to type a different word or phrase (usually one that would get 1,000+ hits) and substitutes it without my leave.

Their plan all along has been to segue to where you get just the customized, intermediated search result they want to give you, based on all they know about you individually. Complete manipulation and control.

Most people haven’t even noticed how much has already been taken away from regular google searches—and google is still the complete and up-to-date search there is.

I can’t believe people still use Google. For crying out loud, there are so many better search engines out there. I prefer Presearch, but DuckDuckGo is also good. But practically any alternative is less toxic to human life than Google.

The operative word in “Artificial Intelligence” is “Artificial”.

“Have never knowingly used Google search”

If you use Duck Duck Go the joke’s on you. They brag about using Google algorithms without the tracking. What do you use?

Don’t use Google at all except the wife’s car which is a Google nightmare infotainment system. I said we ARE NOT logging into a f’n car. We continue as guest.
